What distresses me most about political polarization is how it demands that smart people must nonetheless insist on stupidity.
Biden fell because of toe clips. Even young riders sometimes get their feet fouled in toe clips and fall over.

Yes, somebody in their 70s is likely to have more coordination problems, so is more likely to fall over because of toe clips. So it's not as if there is no aging issues here.
But the fact that Joe can ride a bicycle (as opposed to Trump who can't) is a sign of vitality.

The majority of the population hasn't ridden with toe clips, so this leaves their mind as an important factor in the incident. In their minds, it's reduced to Joe Biden falling over. And because they politically want to be believe, they become impervious to truth.
Okay fine🧵.
Guys. People lost their minds when Trump walked slowly down a ramp one time.
I don’t think the Biden stair stumble stuff should matter. But boy did the media set one hell of a precedent about presidential walking patterns.

Remember this very earnest and concerned @nytimes story (and video!)? Suggesting his “halting walk” “raises new health questions”??
I wonder if we’ll hear about how Biden is the oldest president when (if?) his stair story hits print.

And people picked this story up. This was a whole news cycle! Here’s @kylegriffin1 and @jaketapper sharing this story as if it were something that mattered.
Did President* Trump beg China to help him win in 2020?
And why DOES he keep hiring people he says are wackos or liars?

Never brag about a million people signing up for your rally.
President* Trump gets joy from dominating people:
“Under conditions of terror, most people will comply but some people will not… Vote as if your life depends on it… It does.”
How can we survive his utter absence of conscience?

Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision.
A friend fit unemployment data with an exponential model.
The curve — exponential decay with a long tail — projects ANOTHER 10 MILLION cumulative claims by summer’s end.
That would be OVER 50 MILLION UNEMPLOYED Americans.
Tell us the story about a V-shaped recovery again?

COVID-19 has killed more Americans than 25,000 Benghazi’s.

Voters want to hear President* Trump ANSWER THE QUESTIONS instead of walking away.

36+ million Americans are unemployed. We need a plan.
Paula Reid asked, “You’re overseeing historic economic despair. What’s the delay? Where’s the plan?"
Does President* Trump look like a man with a plan?
